July 17th - Me and Lou Boudreau, Don Kessinger, Roy McMillan and Eddie Brown and of course, Phyllis Diller and Art Linkletter. Interestingly, no pitcher born on my birthday has a winning major league record. That might explain my poor pitching arm also.

March 23 - If it wasn't for their birth years, these guys would be a great bunch of T207 wannabees: Pete Loos, Cy Slapnicka, Sig Broskie, Lou Lucier, Stan Pitula, and Barney Koch.
Peaches Graham, Gavvy Cravath and Ray Kremer are among the few recognizable pre-war players. |

When I was a kid, my mom bought me one of those Dover Reprint baseball card books for Christmas one year. While ripping the cards out of the book, I happened to notice that Mickey Mantle and I shared the same birthday.
That card was my first show-and-tell object when we got back from break. I still have the card, folded and creased from carrying it in my pocket that day. Later, I found out that Juan Marichal also was born on 10/20. I figured I was in good company. |
